Zach, why do you think you need rear drums? I'd say it is typical to
change the rear shoes many many times over the life of an MGB and hardly
ever change the rear drums. The front brakes are really what stop your car.
(List: Please don't flame me over that statement, we can leave that for a
whole different tread). The most common brake wear item would be the front
pads followed by the rotors, then rear shoes and rear drums.
If you are feeling brake pedal pulsing I'd suspect the front rotors or loose
front wheel bearings.
